XBOX: 1,600 Layoffs Today, Another 1,600 Over the Next Year, Four Studios Now Independent or Sold, Arkane in Limbo

More broadly, Microsoft is cutting 4,800 jobs.

Today, Microsoft is laying off 2.1% of its workforce. This equates to 4,800 people that are being let go. The company's XBOX division is cutting about 20% of its entire workforce. All of this is being done in an effort to cut costs due to rising prices and expenses brought about by artificial intelligence (AI).

As a quick reminder: Microsoft plans to spend $190 billion on AI in 2026. In 2025, the company spent $80 billion...
 

PlayStation is Killing Physical Game Discs

Digital only after January 2028.

Starting January 2028, Sony will no longer produce physical discs for new PlayStation game releases. All games released in January 2028 and after will be available only through digital stores such as the PlayStation Store.

Sony attempts to justify this move by claiming it's a "natural direction" in order to "adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs."...

Lord of Hatred Review: Diablo 4 Finally Finds Its Final Form

This is Diablo 4 at its best. I mean it this time. For real.

Returning to the world of Sanctuary for this latest chapter feels like a true homecoming for those of us who have spent hundreds of hours traversing its dark and unforgiving landscapes since the base game launched back in 2023. The release of the Lord of Hatred expansion marks a significant step forward in the narrative that was originally set in motion during the initial campaign and furthered by the events of the Vesse...

    Valorant will also allegedly drop this week too.

    A few different stories surfaced this past weekend that suggest the latest Call of Duty is about to hit Game Pass.

    XboxEra's Sikamikanico said during the latest XboxEra podcast that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will hit Game Pass on July 24. The date was then corroborated by a different leaker, eXtas1s. These reports follow an earlier report from Jez Corden that said Modern Warfare 3 would hit Game Pass "this month."...

    Cheat Maker Vows to Keep Making Call of Duty Cheats After Losing Court Battle to Activision

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Trailer Features Clinton, Bush Sr., Thatcher, Powell, and Saddam Hussein

    It's a party and everybody is invited!

    Sure, the initial marketing push for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was quite lame and, as some have said, "very cringe." This new trailer, though? This new trailer actually seems pretty damn good. At the very least, it's extremely intriguing.

    Hey, you remember the Gulf War? You know, Desert Storm? Iraq? Kuwait? If you're a regular of the site, I think you're old enough to remember the Gulf War, or at least remember some things...

    Cut Post-Credits Modern Warfare 3 Scene Discovered After 13 Years

    It was a high Price to pay.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was released in 2023, but before that, it was also released in 2011. That original release of Modern Warfare 3 served as the conclusion for Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare trilogy before the whole thing was rebooted a decade later.

    In the finale of the original Modern Warfare 3, we play as Captain Price as he takes out the terrorist Vladimir Makarov. There was a big helicopter crash and a dramatic scene where...

    New maps, modes, weapons, and more.

    Season 3 just launched for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Today's new update includes new content for essentially all of the game's many game modes from maps, weapons, entirely new modes for multiplayer, new Operators, new events, new customization options, and much more.

    Apparently this Season for Modern Warfare 3 will include a new Blaze Up event, which I'm going to assume begins around April 20th for some reason. There is also...

Speaking with CharlieIntel, Treyarch says that they are moving "focus to something exciting on the horizon." That sure sounds like they are about to really buckle down on working on this year's Call of Duty, which is presumed to be Black Ops Gulf War.

    Call of Duty Anti-cheat Will Close the Game if Aim Assist is Activated

    Shut it down. Shut it all down.

    An update from Call of Duty says that the Ricochet anti-cheat will now just shut down Call of Duty if a mouse and keyboard player activates aim assist.

    The team warns that repeated use of these aim assist tools could lead to "further account action." Presumably this means that these players will be either account banned or hardware banned from Call of Duty.

    Naturally, the responses to this news include people complaining...

    The Patch 1.33 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is out now for all platforms. However, while the update changelog is rather beefy, the actual update does not include all of the changes that you may have been hoping to see.

    Activision Explains Why Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Uses 235GB of Drive Space

    You will once again need a whole ass drive just for one Call of Duty game.

    Those who dove into the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 campaign early access have found that their total install size weighs in at just shy of 235GB of SSD space occupied. This is true for at least the PlayStation 5 version of the game. On the PC side, I have my install down to just 101GB, but that's without having Modern Warfare 2 content installed, which I may or may not end up needing anyway once the multiplayer...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
